Cinderella is the ultimate girl in a great gown. A version of her narrative exists in nearly every culture, from a 9th-Century Chinese story to the old German fairy tale of The True Bride.

Fairy tales such as these reveal the magical thinking behind dresses: the fantasy that a perfect gown exists that will allow us to be seen, finally, as we truly are. Throughout history, stories of women wearing beautiful dresses reveal the belief that they can bewitch and beguile – and even bend people to their will.

Empire Waist 

Similar to the A-line, empire dresses are fitted through the bust. The main difference is that from the bust down, the empire just flows, rather than making a distinctly angular shape.

This style is another winner for just about everyone. If you’re an apple or on the curvy side, empire dresses will help you play up the bust and minimize everywhere else. If you’re more petite, this style will help define your silhouette – especially in maxi length.

A line dresses are fitted to your waist, and then flare out gradually to the hem. The magic in this shape is that it can minimize the midsection, hips, and thighs, and draw attention to the bust half at the same time (depending on the neckline). 

There’s a reason that most bridesmaid dresses are A-line: It is singular most flattering fit for every body type. The good news is that you actually WILL wear this style again and again, because it comes in way more varieties than just heavy pink satin!

Drop waist

 

 

This style usually conjures up the roaring 20’s and flapper dresses. We love this style in a mini length, which modernizes it a bit. The key to pulling off a drop-waist dress is making sure that it doesn’t hug you anywhere. It looks best when it hangs freely. This style looks amazing on athletic, lean, and boxy shapes who don’t have much curve throughout the hip.

Cue the confetti drop: The fit and flare looks great on just about everyone, and will never go out of fashion.

This iconic style is fitted through the bodice, flaring out right below the hip. It creates a slimming, balanced silhouette while accentuating the good and hiding everything else.

A fit & flare is best for these body types:

Because of its balanced proportions, this dress is truly a winner for almost every body type. Apples may find that it creates a more define waste line . Athletic shapes will love it for the extra curve.

And since the fit-and-flare resembles an hourglass on the hanger, it’s an obvious fit for hour glass shapes .

What is a shift dress

Also called a column dress, a shift  is fairly rectangular in shape. Since this style isn’t fitted, it’s definitely forgiving and comfortable. That said, the shift dress is a great go-to for work wear since the office isn’t really the place for body-conscious styles.

A shift dress is best for these body types:

Shifts look great on long and lean, apple, and athletic shapes – especially when worn with a heel.
Since this style isn’t made to be belted, hourglass shapes may miss the opportunity to show off their curves.

The trapeze dress is to the A-line what the flare jean is to bootcut: a more exaggerated version. While the A-line is fitted through the waist, the trapeze isn’t fitted anywhere. If you lay this dress flat, it looks like a triangle. This style moves like a dream and works best on athletic and long, lean shapes. Curvier gals can pull off the trapeze too but may miss the opportunity to highlight their best features.
